Chapter 298 Pseudo-God-Level Earth Beast
After capturing the second dark beast king, Wei Huan saw that there was still plenty of time, so he immediately led the army back to the outside of the tomb and continued to cross the fog to seize the tomb.
The third tomb probably had not been observed by Wei Huan from time to time, so it was not sensitive enough to the crisis, or it was because they did not expect Wei Huan to seize the tomb so quickly and were not prepared. Therefore, after Wei Huan's undead army crossed the fog, even the undead in the tomb had to be killed before the fire of death could be lit, but they never encountered any decent resistance and easily occupied the tomb.
However, when Wei Huan occupied the surface of the third tomb and wanted to go to the world inside the tomb, he found that time was running out. In two hours, the Professional Temple would send him out.
It now seems that what limits Wei Huan's rapid leveling is not anything else but the time requirement for occupying the tomb. Even if he is fast, it will take time to kill all the undead. It would be faster for the opponent to organize a legion to fight against him.
With two hours remaining, Wei Huan cultivated his understanding of the power of death in the tomb until the Occupational Temple sent him out.
After returning to his body, he stood up and went to the Undead Ranch again. The newly recruited undead needed to be trained, and the original old undead also needed to be trained to the sixth level, especially this second dark beast king. If he could be promoted to the sixth level as soon as possible, he would have a powerful combat power again.
After coming out of the Undead Ranch, Wei Huan can usually rest for about 4 hours, but it also depends on the time. If he is busy during the day, he will go to work on the chariot first, and then come back to rest. Sometimes he will go directly into the Professional Temple without resting.
On the contrary, like today, when the time was just right, Wei Huan could see Mu Zhong sleeping on the bed as soon as he came out.
Mu Zhong was sleeping soundly on the bed. Wei Huan walked lightly to the bedside and looked at the well-proportioned and slender body under the thin quilt. He moved his gaze slowly and almost greedily from the toes upwards. His sight finally fell on the man's face, and his handsome features caught his eye.
He was so absorbed in watching that his concentration was interrupted by a pair of fluttering eyelashes, and he quickly retracted his gaze.
He raised his arm and smelled it. The undead were always accompanied by a foul odor. Although this odor was not smelled by the nose, but a kind of energy attribute, as long as Wei Huan restrained himself well, he would not be able to sense anything. However, he still turned and went into the bathroom and washed himself from head to toe.
When he came out again, the curtains were drawn. Only the bedside lamp was on in the dark room. Mu Zhong lit up the virtual screen under the bedside lamp and tapped away, looking very focused.
Wei Huan's movement startled Mu Zhong, who immediately turned his gaze away from the virtual screen and smiled gently at Wei Huan: "Is your hair dry? Do you want me to blow-dry it for you?"
Wei Huan pressed one knee on the bed, causing a corner of the soft mattress to sag. He tilted his head and looked at Mu Zhong, his eyes filled with unhappiness that he himself was not aware of. "Are you up? Are you going to get busy with work?"
Mu Zhong smiled, pushed the virtual projection screen aside, turned over and knelt in front of Wei Huan. He raised his hand to grab Wei Huan's collar, looked up at him as if he was looking at a god, with both admiration and respect, and a deep desire to pull him down from the altar.
However, Wei Huan was never a god. He was just an ordinary person. Especially when facing Mu Zhong, his desires were so strong that even he felt it was excessive.
Wei Huan couldn't help it, nor did he want to hold it back. He raised his hand to pinch the man's chin, and with his other hand, clasped the back of his head. Then, he pressed down hard and kissed the lips that he could never get enough of...
…
When Xia Yu came over, Wei Huan had already woken up from a nap. He had nothing to do, so he had dinner on the balcony with Mu Zhong, who had returned from a busy day.
Wei Huan stared at Mu Zhong for a long moment and asked, "Are you okay?"
"What?" Mu Zhong was puzzled at first, then he reacted, "After all, I'm already Sequence Five, and my physical fitness is at its best, so what's that?" As he said this, his earlobes turned slightly red, and the memories before going to bed emerged in his mind. Wei Huan, who was at Sequence Six, was getting stronger and stronger. He was indeed a little overwhelmed, but he has recovered now. The shaman controls the power of nature, and his self-healing ability is very strong.
Wei Huan heard the subtext and said, "I...will restrain myself."
"No need." Mu Zhong objected even faster, "I'm not a delicate little girl. I'm also very happy this way. Trust me, it's no problem."
Before Wei Huan could say anything, the housekeeper informed him that Xia Yu had arrived at the door.
Without waiting for Wei Huan to ask, Mu Zhong said, "I was the one who called her over. I was busy before, but now I have some free time. I can take a look at your injuries."
Wei Huan was silent for two seconds and then nodded. In fact, he didn't mind the injury very much now. The portable system helped him hide his face, and Mu Zhong, the only person who could contact him, never showed any abnormality. Most of the time, he forgot that he had a wound on his face.
Now that Mu Zhong called Xia Yu over, he naturally cared more about the injury than he did. He knew that Mu Zhong didn't dislike him, but just felt sorry for him so he kept it in mind.
"Let her in." Wei Huan nodded.
The door opened and Xia Yu walked in alone.
Xia Yu was tall and imposing, with long, straight black hair reaching her waist. As an angel, she rarely saw the battlefield directly, so unlike many of the other female warriors on the chariot, she possessed a feminine charm, yet not delicate, more like a rich, red camellia.
When he got close to Wei Huan, Xia Yu saluted the two and said, "I'm very confident I can heal Commander Wei's injury, but it might take a while."
"How long?" Mu Zhong asked.
"It'll probably take at least a week. It involves regenerating skin and flesh. Plus, Commander Wei and I have conflicting attributes, so we're not very compatible as healers. So, not only will it be slow, but Commander Wei will also suffer."
Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan, and Wei Huan said, "No problem. Can I enter the Professional Temple this week?"
"Okay." Xia Yu nodded, "Just don't practice in the Professional Temple. Some training will actually help distract you."
"Okay, come on then."
Wei Huan didn't want to delay his training, but it was good like this now. He was going to fight in the tomb. This was his professional training, just like a warrior would practice combat skills in a professional temple. It would be good as long as it didn't delay his improvement. Otherwise, he would rather leave it like this and not rush into treatment.
Wei Huan stood up and was about to go to the bed when he heard Xia Yu say to Mu Zhong, "General Mu, there is something I want to discuss with you before the treatment."
Wei Huan stopped and turned around to see Xia Yu agreeing and continued, "Alfonso is in my room. She has no authority now and can't even leave my room."
Mu Zhong said directly this time: "She can go to any public area and can walk downstairs. And she controls the Mage Tower. I'm already considering her job. Don't worry, she is your guarantee to get on the chariot. Few people know about it. Once she gets on the chariot, she will be a member of the chariot."
After hearing this, Xia Yu showed a relieved expression on her face: "Thank you."
Mu Zhong smiled and nodded.
Wei Huan lay on the bed and entered the professional temple again. When Xia Yu was treating him, his soul was always hot, as if it was being purified and burned by the power of light. This state really affected his cultivation.
But it didn't affect his fighting.
During the Crossing the Mist campaign, one tomb after another was taken down, and the number of the Dark Beast Kings was also increasing. Dian Ma had even reached the limit of what she could bear at the current stage. Even the Queen's family like Gou Zi had obtained their own "arsenal" and made a fortune.
However, Wei Huan never established a second tribe of earth beasts because Dian Ma did not allow him to do so. This was obviously related to their habits. Even though Wei Huan gave orders as the controller, Dian Ma could not resist, but she also showed extreme resistance.
Wei Huan gave up.
There is no need to give up a tree for a piece of grassland. Dianma is a veteran who has been accompanying him in battle from the beginning to the present day. She still plays an important role in his undead army today. With careful cultivation, she is about to advance to a pseudo-god-level hero. Undead of this level are much more valuable than cultivating hundreds or thousands of ordinary elites.
Besides, they have been together for a long time and have some feelings for each other. No matter whether Dian Ma understands it or not, and whether they have real feelings for each other, Wei Huan is not a heartless person after all.
Therefore, in the following period of time, in addition to recruiting the Dark Beast King, Wei Huan put all his energy into training Dian Ma.
Dianma needed a large number of Geobeasts to fill her clan. As a queen, the more Geobeasts and Facehuggers she controlled, the faster she would level up. Especially devouring other Geobeast Queens was more effective than devouring tens of thousands of Geobeasts.
However, before recruiting the undead, it is impossible to tell whether they are elites, so Wei Huan’s recent dark power has been mainly used to recruit earth beasts, especially when he encounters elite-level earth beasts, he immediately throws them to Dian Ma to devour.
Dianma was saturated when he conquered the fourth tomb, but it was only saturated. "Gouzi", who also has the queen's bloodline, is now the queen of the underground beasts, but is basically still a lone commander.
There are also "grandchildren" and pink "great-grandchildren", but they also have no soldiers.
For the Earth Beasts, manpower is equal to strength, and also to their rank. While the "great-grandchild" lacks the ability to store manpower, it does require pre-stocking. Having a group of Facehuggers surrounding it, obeying its commands, strengthens it. As it advances, these Facehuggers become its manpower, taking up residence in its abdomen and fighting for it.
By the time they reached the seventh tomb, the group of earth beasts led by Dian Ma were all saturated, and they were only a step away from breaking through to the pseudo-god level.
But it is obviously not easy to do this. It cannot be achieved by recruiting soldiers alone. Wei Huan needs to use the soul tentacles ability he mastered when he was a psychic to enter the depths of its soul and cultivate it. It is extremely meticulous and tedious.
Wei Huan left happily, and even said that most of his energy in daily practice was put into cultivating Dian Ma.
He wanted to cultivate a pseudo-god-level undead too much. Although most of the time, the number can achieve qualitative change, sometimes it is necessary to be strong and invincible. The lack of high-end combat power has always been Wei Huan's pain.
At the moment, as the commander-in-chief of the Blue Star Alliance's pioneering army, he has countless strong men from Blue Star fighting for him, and an extremely strong brother like Xu Qingqiang to help him through life and death, but there are always times when he is alone.
Cultivating Dianma has become Wei Huan's most important thing at the moment, even more important than recruiting the Dark Beast King.
The feeling of being just one step away from a breakthrough is really torturous.
While Wei Huan was immersed in cultivation, the injuries on his face were slowly recovering under Xia Yu's care.
Whenever Mu Zhong is free, he will come up to check on the progress of Wei Huan's treatment.
Using the sacred power of light to heal dark challengers is a very painful thing. Even a talented person like Xia Yu has to reach the level of an angel of life before he dares to talk about treatment.
Even though there was a guarantee of a cure, the treatment process was extremely painful. Wei Huan said nothing, but Mu Zhong was heartbroken. He was always worried about him and couldn't concentrate on anything he did. He even moved some non-essential work to his room.
Xia Yu was still receiving treatment, and Mu Zhong would occasionally look up from his work to see Wei Huan lying in bed.
At this moment, Wei Huan's true face was exposed. He had recovered most of his strength under Xia Yu's treatment, revealing his original handsome appearance.
When Mu Zhong was studying at A Tiaoda, he naturally had some impression of Wei Huan.
Unlike himself who likes socializing and is willing to shine, he has never seen Wei Huan show himself in any public place, as if he was drowned in the crowd.
But perhaps it was because of the recollection, the man in his memory became more and more vivid, as if glowing in the crowd, tall and stern. Even in an auditorium with thousands of people, he stood out from the crowd as if he had absorbed all the light around him, leaving him alone to stare at him across thousands of mountains and rivers.
He was on the podium, and he was in the crowd, just looking at each other for what seemed like eternity.
That appearance is what it looks like now.
He was as cold as a rock, and his eyes were as scorching as bullets, making his heart beat wildly like thunder, almost bursting into flames.
He stared at her unconsciously for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, the man's eyes had opened without him noticing. His narrow and long eyes were staring at him quietly, and he felt the same way again, his heart beating violently.
Xia Yu withdrew his hand, his face showing fatigue as he said, "The melt wound on his face isn't difficult to treat. The difficulty lies in Commander Wei's dark energy. After so much time has passed, the dark energy that injured him has become entangled with his own energy. To treat Commander Wei without damaging his cultivation, a high-level healer is required."
At this point, Xia Yu looked at the two people who were staring at each other infatuatedly and couldn't take their eyes off each other in time, and smiled knowingly, "Commander Wei is well now. His waist must be sore after sleeping for these days. He can walk around. As for me, I need to get a good sleep when I get home."
Mu Zhong withdrew his gaze from Wei Huan's face and said half a beat later: "Thank you for your hard work. This is a thank you gift."
Mu Zhong said this, turning his wrist and a square, flat box appeared in his hand. "This is the diamond vestment. I originally wanted to exchange DKP for a staff for you, but weapons are always in short supply, and we don't have any on our chariot at the moment, so I can only give you this vestment."
Xia Yu refused to answer and said, "This is my job. Besides, it's my honor to treat Commander Wei. You know, this is not just a compliment."
Mu Zhong said, "You doing your job and I sincerely want to thank you are two different things."
Xia Yu wanted to say something, but Wei Huan said, "Take it."
Xia Yu finally nodded: "Thank you Commander Wei, General Mu, I will go back first."
After Xia Yu left, Wei Huan looked at Mu Zhong. Mu Zhong stared at his face intently and said, "Actually, if you look closely at a virtual face, it's still a little distorted. Now it feels real."
Wei Huan raised his hand and touched his face. The pit-like feeling was gone. He was not a person who cared much about his appearance, but he would naturally be very happy if he could be healthy and intact.
Mu Zhong also raised his hand and touched his face, his fingers groping over the half of his face where he had lost his mouth. "Healing here is the best, and eating is not so troublesome."
Perhaps it was because the caressing hand was too gentle, or perhaps it was because the new flesh was too sensitive, Wei Huan could clearly feel the warmth of the palm. He then grabbed Mu Zhong's hand to prevent him from leaving. Before pressing it down, he said, "Kissing you...it won't be that troublesome..."
…
After Wei Huan finished stretching his body, he went downstairs alone.
Mu Zhong was watching over the chariot, and everything was in order. There was nothing for Wei Huan to worry about, so he went to visit the director and held a few meetings. After Mu Zhong came downstairs a day later, he went to practice in the dark source room again.
Wei Huan was still training Dian Ma and training the undead army to level six. In the chariot, the third sequence six challenger from Blue Star appeared.
Captain Xue advanced to Sequence Six: Martial Emperor, and his strength was greatly improved.
Captain Xue's upgrade also improved the efficiency of the pioneering team, allowing them to leave the tank and develop gold-level ruins.
While waiting for the World Tree to grow, the development of the sixth-level world cannot stop. These materials are extremely important whether they are left for the legion or sent to other legion countries.
However, Wei Huan is now focusing on training and will not go into battle unless necessary, so any exploration of resources will be carried out by the team themselves.
The ranged team is mainly responsible for opening boxes, while the melee team takes the risk of leaving the tank and exploring the ruins.
It is worth mentioning here that after Alfonso got on the car, the wise men in their chariots all took advantage of their proximity and entered the Mage Tower to improve their strength.
The Mage Tower is a knowledge-based professional training ground. Most of the people who awaken the Wise are people with high IQ and good learning ability. They learn magic knowledge at different stages to understand the origin of magic, which can make their magic damage higher and more accurate. In addition, mages of different levels will also learn magic outside of the professional temple. In the Mage Tower where the magic knowledge is vast, they can take what they need and learn what they can. The Wise Sequence has also begun to develop in many aspects since then. They are not only born for fighting. Some Wise can study magic that focuses on life.
Of course, if you are determined to be a main combat team member, entering the Mage Tower to study is also an inevitable way, which can effectively improve your combat level.
Wei Huan concentrated on his cultivation and was not required to show up in any non-essential battles. He now only showed up when necessary.
For example, a month later, the platform that Mu Zhong mentioned finally emerged from the sea, and the chariot that had been drifting on the sea for a long time officially docked on the platform.
This platform is now almost the size of a medium-sized country, and can easily accommodate a mere 3,000 tanks.
However, once they stay in one place and build a base, monsters will spawn due to the gathering. This is also a continuous test of the human race in the challenging world, and it is also a major problem that the pioneering army and the garrison must solve.
The base not only needs to be built, but also needs to be built firmly so that it can defend against the firepower of monsters attacking the city.
This task was handed over to Wei Huan's father-in-law Mu Dehao.
Although Mu Dehao was a master at building a base on a tree, this was his first time. He had to consider more than just defenses against the ground and the sky; enemies could also come from the seabed. Furthermore, he couldn't allow the battle to reach the World Tree. Even the strongest trees couldn't withstand the ravages of artillery fire, so building a base on the World Tree was extremely draining.
Mu Zhong went to help his father deal with the construction base issues, and often stayed on different tree branches for several days.
Wei Huan continued to practice.
In the second month, the construction of the base took shape. Hammer Brother advanced to Martial Emperor and Jacques advanced to War Bishop, and the strength of the pioneering army was improved again.
At the same time this month, Faisal Mohammed boarded the train and became a deputy captain in charge of logistics resources on Wei Huan's train.
That's right, it was that wealthy driver with the long full name. Three months ago, after using 25 forbidden spell scrolls just to create a blast, Wei Huan had a grudge against him. Granted, oil is worthless now, and challenge supplies are the most valuable. This wealthy driver wasn't actually that wealthy. But adding icing on the cake is easier said than done. He used the ever-depreciating Blue Star Coins to buy the forbidden spell scrolls for Wei Huan, regardless of the cost. Wei Huan would remember this favor.
So, after all the investigations on the Daxia side were completed and the wealthy captain was confirmed to be on board, Wei Huan put him in charge of allocating resources within the tank. After all, as a member of the leading family of a wealthy nation, his perspective was bound to be different from others, and he also had a set of effective methods for material management. Mu Zhong even consulted him for advice on many occasions.
With Faisal as the deputy tank commander on board, Wei Huan quickly promoted his old cousin Mu to the last deputy tank commander position in charge of internal affairs.
Unlike other deputy train captains who were appointed to share Mu Zhong's work, cousin Mu was appointed to this deputy train captain position because he had been doing this kind of work, but his position had always been a senior executive, not a deputy train captain.
Mu Zhong hesitated for a long time when recommending his cousin Mu, and had many concerns, so it took him so long to decide on his cousin Mu.
Wei Huan simply said, "My mind is not on the chariot. You don't need to think too much about this kind of thing, just tell me. I can see all the efforts that cousin Mu has made since he boarded the chariot. You should have reminded me earlier."
At this point, the top management of Wei Huan's chariot is fully staffed.
Senior management is relatively simple. All existing positions will be retained, and vacancies will be filled by the most capable people according to the job requirements.
Wei Huan still took time to pay attention, and spent most of his time practicing.
Finally, when the second month was about to end and the third month was about to begin, Dian Ma, whom Wei Huan had been cultivating with great concentration, advanced.
Diamma reaching the pseudo-god level gave the entire earth beast a huge boost. After learning about their current strength, Wei Huan did not regret spending more than three months on Diamma at all. What he gained after the upgrade far exceeded his efforts.
This also gave him the confidence to face the challenges of the seventh-level world.
